Hi Len - I just had a question about torque.

it will come down to the torque that one or the other engine may
develop at a certain rev' range, put simply the more torque for less
revs will be the ideal. on your size lawn you may not notice a whole
lot of difference but then if money is no option go for the bigger
horsepower.

The two engines I'm looking at a

The GCV160 has 7.6 lbf ft of maximum torque at 2500 rpm. The GCV190
has 8.1 lbf ft of torque at the same rpm. What does this all mean?

Cheers,

Han.
